[Lekooks] Delafield City Council Meeting

[Fran B.]

Dear Friends,
I urge you to write to Kent Attwell, mayor for the City of Delafield, before Monday's council meeting, regarding the Gadsden Flag. His email is: kattwell at ci.delafield.wi.us. Below is the letter I recently sent him.
Fran Bills


Dear Mayor Attwell,
I am deeply offended by the sight of the Gadsden Flag flying in my city. This flag has become a symbol of the failedinsurrection on January 6, 2021, where traitors to our nation, intent on overthrowing our government and murdering Vice President Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and many other elected officials, flew this flag and used it to attack police and break into the United States capitol. By flying this flag, you are associating my city, the city I love, with traitors and white supremacist militias.
It is no different than flying a swastika and claiming you are honoring Native American culture, not Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Or flying the Confederate flag and claiming you are honoring southern culture, not white supremacy, and slavery. If you personally support the actions of a political group like the Tea party or those who attacked our national capitol on January 6, 2021, fly the flag on your front yard, not on mine, the City of Delafield which I love. Wear it on your clothing. Slap it on your bumper.  The Gadsden Flag must be immediately removed from public property.
Sincerely,

Fran Bills
1522 Milwaukee St.
Delafield, WI 53018

Dear Friends,
The City of Delafield will discuss the Gadsden Flag which flies on City property, at the Monday, January 15 council meeting at 7pm in City Hall.  The Gadsden Flag is the Revolutionary period flag with a snake and the "Don't Tread On Me" slogan. It has been usurped by the far right and was prominently carried by traitors who stormed the Capitol intent on overturning our government and murdering then Vice President Pence,  Sen. Pelosi and many other elected officials on January 6, 2021.
I urge you to attend and voice your opinion.

Fran Bills
